This toolkit provides functions to save or read compressed data from a file. While the module is named Zip, it has nothing to do with the .zip format as it uses zlib compression (.gz format).<br/>
Note that this modules has no python wrapper. Use python built-in zip module instead.<br />
You can use the compression buffer in two modes :<br />
<ul>
<li>Either you put data in the buffer, then save it to a file.</li>
<li>Or you load a file into the buffer, then get data from it.</li>
</ul>
